White and Miss Elsie M. Wicker and Harry R. Leckliter were united in marriage.  Probate Judge Roy Osborn performed the ceremony.

The young ladies are cousins.  On Tuesday afternoon they went to Longton.  Mr. White went to Moline and Mr. Leckliter whose home is in Howard, met him there.  They left Moline on the night train and were joined by the girls at Longton, then all went to Independence, where the girls were guests of Mrs. W. V. Linville. The party returned to Longton Wednesday afternoon and after a wedding supper at the home of another cousin, Mrs. Lottie Bailey, they accompanied by Mrs. Bailey and Waldo McKay came to the Timmons home where they were met by a large crowd of friends who charivaried them.

Mrs. White is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Timmons and Mrs. Leckliter is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. J.
